Devin is FINALLY home!

Disneyland Update

It's now Friday and we are leaving for the happiest place on earth on Monday!! For those of you that aren't good at math, that's only 3 more days!! Ahhhhhh! It's extremely exciting and I can barely hold in my enthusiasm! I even convinced my mom to buy us girls matching Mickey Mouse t-shirts! They are quite adorable if I must say so myself. I also tried with no avail to get my dad and Bryce matching shirts, but I was assured that they would not be worn anyway, so what's the point? It's kind of pathetic how much I am looking forward to this trip, but considering the fact that I haven't been to Disneyland since I was a wee little 4 year old, I think it's ok. Some day I will take my own children to Disneyland and I will probably be just as excited then as I am now.


While in Disneyland, I plan to ride every ride I can find, despite the long lines to enter them. I am also determined to get an autograph from any and all famous characters I lay my eyes on. I want to find a cool souvenir that everyone will be jealous of when I get home and flaunt it. I will take pictures, take pictures, and take more pictures! My hopes are also high for some good food.

Amid all of my joy I also have a few worries. A very long car ride could unfortunetely result in a very sick me. I have been known for getting car sick, but hopefully I can sleep alot and keep myself occupied while I am awake so that isn't an option. Another one of my lovely qualitites is my uncanny ability to fry every time I spend time outside. It is almost guaranteed that I will get sunburnt, I only wish that it won't be too bad and that my many layers of sunscreen will prove useful.

I am also looking forward to seeing my amazing, fabulous, wonderful aunts Barbie and Shelly when we stay at their house the last two days of our trip. Because they live in California it isn't very often that we get to spent time with them, so that will most definitely be the icing on a very delicious cake for me.

Overall, it is going to be a vacation to remember and the last thing I have to say is...

DISNEYLAND HERE I COME!

Leo

Pretty sure I have the cutest cat in the world! Just sayin'...



I think he may have been a model before we found him, because he is very photogenic!

Foam Day!

We went to Lehi's annual Foam Day on Saturday, and we had a blast! Our two cousins Kymbr and Kalli came with us and I met up with a bunch of my friends. If you don't know what Foam Day is, the Lehi Fire Department comes and sprays foam out of their hoses for everyone to play in! They also have blow up bounce houses, music, booths, and, of course, food! This is the 3rd year they have done it, and it is a big hit! We got really dirty and I got sunburnt pretty bad, but it was worth it!







My friends and I were hanging out around the camera guy being crazy hoping to make the newspaper, and we succeeded! This is the picture that was in the Daily Herald with the article about Foam Day!



It's mainly of my friend Kezlyn, but I'm to her right and my friend Ashley is the girl turned around next to me! We don't know who the boy is....

So, overall we had a really great time and if you've never been to Foam Day you should definitely plan to go next year!

Today's Events

Today was a bit of a crazy day! I woke up at 8:00, which is very unusual for me considering how I can sleep until noon, and I went to the first day of my basketball camp at Lehi High. After 2 1/2 hours of various drills and exercises I think it is safe to say that I am out of shape! My legs are sore already and I still have 4 days left, but I am enjoying playing basketball again.

After my camp, I hustled home and jumped in the car with my dad and we went over to Thanksgiving Point to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. It was my second time seeing it because I went to the midnight showing the day it came out, but it was even better the second time! Probably because I was sitting in a better seat today!

When we got home, I quickly showered and we left for the zoo!! I love the zoo, but it's especially fun when the animals are active and put on a show for us! Today was definitely a nice day, and the animals were loving it! The monkeys were all hilarious, and the tigers were swimming in their pool right next to the glass! We saw lots of cool things including a very angry gorilla that actually hit the glass with his fist when my dad and Bryce walked by!




Following our lovely trip to the zoo, we went down the rode to Red Robin for dinner, and it was, of course, DELICIOUS! Then to top it all off I went shopping with my mom for a few hours!


Overall, it was a GREAT day today and I had so much fun with my family! More excitement is to come tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday, so here's a big shout out for him! You do so much for me and I never thank you enough, so I hope you have a very special day today! I could never ask for a better dad! I love you most! Happy Birthday!

Finally blogging again!

Well, I think it's safe to say that it has been FOREVER since I've blogged! Almost a whole year! A lot happens in a year, and I'm not even going to try to catch up on everything. I will, however, mention a few things. I finished 9th grade with all "A"s except for one "A-" in the third term! So, in about one month, I will be attending Lehi High School and I hope to make the girls basketball team there. Something that I am looking forward to- my family is going to DISNEYLAND in August! I still have the best friends in the world, and we love to spend time together watching movies and laughing a lot! We have a new cat in our family, also. His name is Leo and we love him so much! He loves to chase his tail, chirp at birds, play with hair bands, and of course, sleep! Overall, I'm doing great and just loving life! I'm going to try to do better at blogging from now on, but I guess we'll just have to see how that goes!
